litigation, lawsuit, court proceeding or action in connection with, arising out

of, or related in any way to any of the Court Matters, or to the enforcement of

an arbitration award rendered under this agreement (individually and

collectively, "Proceeding"), the prevailing party shall be entitled to

recover reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs incurred in that Proceeding

in addition to any other relief to which it may be entitled, at trial, at all

appellate levels, and in post-judgment collection and enforcement proceedings,

and such party may request the presiding court to retain jurisdiction after

final judgment in the underlying Proceeding to add such reasonable attorneys'

fees and other costs which may be incurred post-judgment by entry of an

appropriate amended judgment or other appropriate ruling.


E. Whenever the singular number is used in this agreement and when required by

the context, the same shall include the plural and vice versa. All pronouns and

only variations thereof shall be deemed to refer to masculine, feminine, or

neuter, singular or plural as the identity of the person, or persons, or

entity, or entities may require. In this agreement, unless otherwise specified:

(i) the words "herein", "hereunder", "hereof" and

"hereto", and words of similar import, refer to this agreement in its

entirety, (ii) the words "include", "including" and words

of similar import, shall be deemed to be followed by the words "without

limitation", (iii) the term "persons" means individuals and

entities, and (iv) the term "parties" means you and LayoverStop

collectively, and the term "party" means you or LayoverStop,

individually. The captions and headings in this agreement are inserted for

convenience only and are in no way intended to describe, interpret, define, or

limit the scope, extent or intent of this agreement or any provision hereof.

The parties agree that if one or more provisions of this agreement are held to

be illegal or unenforceable under applicable law, such illegal or unenforceable

portion shall be limited or excluded from this agreement to the minimum extent

required so that this agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect

and enforceable. This agreement shall be binding upon, and shall operate for

the benefit of, the parties and their respective heirs, executors, representatives,

administrators, successors, and permitted assigns. The failure of LayoverStop

to seek redress for violation of or to insist upon the strict performance of

any covenant or condition of this agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of

such violation or failure to perform or of any subsequent violation or failure

to perform. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and may be exercised

concurrently or separately, and the exercise of any one remedy shall not be

deemed to be an election of such remedy or to preclude the exercise of any

other remedy.
